Car Pron: 1991 Porsche 911, Reimagined by Singer (JayLenosGarage)

Jay Leno interviews Singer Vehicle Design's design director, Rob Dickinson. They talk Singer design philosophy and logistics as well as checkout their latest build; a pale blue semi-gulf racing livery inspired, 964-based 911 making 350hp in a ~2600lb lightened chassis (there are other configurations of course). Caged, engineered, designed and refined to perfection. You could do different things to modify a 911, but it wouldn't be better than a Singer, imo.
